有一句定义经济学家很有名的话，意思是经济学家既要是数学家、又要是地理学家、又要是历史学家……
寻求原文，最好是英文版的，还有是谁说的这句话。
学习经济学，似乎不需要什么高度的持有的天资。从智力上来看，跟哲学或纯科学的一些学科比起来，不是很容易吗？这门学科看起来容易，但是能学得出人头地的却很少！这一难以理解的现象似乎是在于，作为一个杰出的经济学家，必须具有种种才能的结合，这一点是很难能可贵的。他必须在某种程度上是个数学家，又是历史学家、政治家和哲学家。他必须精通的是把他要说的话写下来。他必须善于运用思考力，从一般原则推断出个别现象，在思想奔放中，既要触及抽象的方面，又要触及具体的方面。他必须根据过去，研究现在，推测未来。对人类性格及其风俗习惯的任何方面，他都不应当完全置之度外。他同时必须保持着既不是无所为而为之，又不是不偏不倚的态度，像个艺术家那样地头脑冷静和孤芳自赏，然而有时也必须像个政治家那样地接近尘世环境。

Studied economics, it seems that what does not need to hold a high degree of talent. From the intellectual point of view, with the philosophy or pure science than the number of subjects, not very easy to do? This subject looks easy, but can learn to draw, but few succeed! This phenomenon seems to be difficult to understand is that, as a distinguished economist, must have a combination of all kinds to it, it is very valuable. He must to some extent, is a mathematician and a historian, statesman and philosopher. He must master is to him to say write it down. He must be good at thinking, the general principles deduced from the individual phenomena, unrestrained thinking, we should touch on aspects of the abstract, but also touch on specific aspects. He must, in accordance with the past, research now speculate the future. Of human character and its customs of any connection, he should not entirely disregard. He also must be maintained is not doing nothing, not even-handed manner, as to the artist like a cool-headed and fit of narcissism, but sometimes politicians have to like the environment as close to earth.

合格的经济学家“他必须在各个方面都达到相当的水准，然后把这些很难捏合在一起的各种天分融为一体。在某种程度上，他必须既是数学家又是历史学家，同时还是政治家和哲学家。他必须能理会符号而又能诉诸言语。他必须在研究现在的同时回顾过去、展望未来。人类的天性与习俗没有哪些完全处于他的视野之外，他必须富有激情，追求目标而又排除先人之见。他必须像艺术家那样远离尘世，又像政治家那样脚踏实地”
